The Board is considering whether or not to modify the regulations to permit 20+ years of experience in engineering to be equivalent to a Bachelors of Science degree for purposes of qualification for sitting for the PE examination.

The regulations currently permit such experience to qualify in lieu of the FE examination. 

It is respectfully requested that the Board consider permitting 20+ years of experience EITHER to apply in lieu of the FE exam OR in lieu of the Bachelors of Science degree, but not both.

The skills required to pass both the FE and PE exams demonstrate a grasp of the knowledge and skills taught in a Bachelors curriculum.  Neither examination is easily passed without such skills and knowledge.
